Research Interests
My
research is focused on understanding how compatibility is established in host
plant species during the infection process by the root knot nematode, Meloidogyne incognita. In
Dr. Steve Briggs laboratory, I am examining data generated from high throughput
profiling methods (microarray and LTQ
tandem mass spectrometry) of infected and uninfected root tissues from Arabidopsis
thaliana to identify genes of
interest for further investigation using a novel promoter pull-down
method. In conjunction with Dr. Trey Ideker's laboratory, we hope to use data generated from
these experiments as well as known protein-protein interaction data in
Arabidopsis to generate a network model to describe the nematode infection
process.
Education
B.S. Biological Sciences. The
Honors thesis research on a putative GABA permease in Arabidopsis
About Me
I spend my spare time indulging my love of bad horror movies and film music. I do a little composition of my own and also enjoy reading and writing fiction.
